How can i use old saves/blueprints?

[JagerWulf66]

Hi, I want to use my old blue prints of my battleship(cv) which are in an old creative game, or i would like to buse the old blueprints, is there anyway that i can bring them back/update them so i can use them with the game now?

You need to edit out any illegal blocks before you can spawn it, but otherwise it's a case of copying over the relevant blueprint file from memory, or upload it to the workshop and subscribe to it if you can't be assed folder hunting. Just upload as private to avoid clogging up the workshop until you think it's good enough to share.

Illegal blocks are stuff like the alien blocks found in POI's or the ion, laser and plasma turrets also found on POI's, along with some very old legacy stuff. But it sounds like your CV isn't that old, so it shouldn't be a problem. Hopefully :P

The problem for is that my old creative game dosn't show up in the resume game list, only the new games that i've made, but there still in the save game folder, is there something new about how saves are made compared to the old way?

should not be. How do i find my ships save fiole in the world save, and where is the world save too lol How would I move this to a new world? Sorry if this seems alot, I have no idea. I just recently got to the second planet after clearing most places ont planet one, building a nice CV(kinda) and a gorgeas base. Which I do not mind simply making from a bp

Ah, google it? A read it somewhere in a faq for Empyrion about blueprints and it mentioned that the blueprints are stored individually in a folder iirc. Might be on the "official" wiki.

It's probably out-dated then :/ Save game breaking is actually pretty common thing in game development as maintaining save game compatibility can introduce some really nasty bugs.

Any blueprints you made though should probably be still be accessible in creative mode.

Was it a game from pre-alpha?

So the game wont load those old saves any more.

However, if you actually used RIGHT-ALT-O to create a blueprint back then it should still be on disk ready to spawn again.

HOWEVER, if all you have is a ship in a savegame, and you updated the game itself, you are simply ♥♥♥♥♥♥. It's a do over.

Not all bad, all your hull blicks are obsolete and there is a TON of new and better stuff since last December, so just build a MKII and end up with something better.

We all rebuilt, or walked away from last year's models after April 15.

Welcome back

Unfortunetly for me the ship was a rebiuld of the titan with a lot of exspanion and modifacations, sevral hundred hours worth,( about 240hrs worth) so alas a once off for me.

Sorry for the huge quote, but it's difficult to edit on the phone.

The Titan BP is still located in the PREFABS folder, if you COPY it To the blueprints folder you will be able to spawn the Titan - still have to modify it, but you probably want to replaceblocks to stronger blocks anyway

I may have read a different title and misclicked the wrong thread. There was a question asking how to make a blueprint. Sorry about that. Were you ever able to get the blueprints laoded in your new world like you wanted?

Nar I don't think it's going to happen, i'll let it go and start a new again, it's not the first time this has happened and it most likly won't be the last, maybe some one will figure it out latter, cheers for asking.
